Assuming your CD is an ATAPI/IDE as secondary master,
alias out="eject -u /dev/hdc"
alias in="mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom
And install the eject rpm from the RedHat CD.
Then type in and out to your hearts content.
People were having trouble with the automounting packages.
Maybe they work now.
